l found a calendar in my father’s thongs that is 1909 and it has the E B Millar & Company name on it . l am trying to find if it is a real antique.
Millar’s at one point was in the Penang Building at Michigan & South Water Street, Chicago. I have a price list and illustrated small sign (on other side of price list) showing the building, their name on it, and horse-drawn wagons and what looks like one motor vehicle (so likely early 1900s). It’s a company not that recognized as important to Chicago history, but it is!
We just acquired the back section of a delivery truck from the Millar Coffee Co, it has a book from the 50’s in the back. The truck lists coffee, tea and spices. It is red with white lettering. Any information on the Denver location would be appreciated as we are located in Colorado.
I just found a Christmas postcard from 1917 from this company. It’s in NM condition. I was just wondering what they made. And now I know. I wish I could include a picture.
